GLOBAL AND COLLECTIVE HEALTH
Global and Collective Health
The research program “Global and Collective Health” from BRICS Policy Center aims to foster critical and integrated studies on health issues, recognizing the structural inequalities that affect populations in BRICS countries. By connecting global health dynamics with local realities, we seek to qualitatively analyze the historical, socio-environmental, economic-commercial, cultural, and digital determinants that impact well-being and the promotion of health. Through an intersectional method and approach, the program seeks to understand how different categories – gender, race, class, territory, and religion – affect access and quality of healthcare across different national and local contexts. In this sense, the program constitutes a space for interdisciplinary, interregional, and inclusive dialogue, bringing together professionals, users, social movements, and governmental entities involved in the circulation of knowledge on global and collective health.
